Work i'm the Salvation Army.

had an interview down in the country
with the captain of the Salvation Army.
She was d buXOm young woman of 20,
who had gone into the service against the
wishes of her parents. 1t threw some
thing of q new light on the subject to
me. l fancy most people suppose that
those who go singing along the street are
quite impervious to the taunts Of the
crowd which greet them SO freely. But it
seems they are not. ---..
+ ''Oh,' said the captain, "tbese are not
all the soldiers of the army. There are
many who don't appear who won't go on
the street. tell you," she said, with q
strong western twang, sit takes grit to go
out and sing on the streets and bear all
that you've got to there. And very few
can do it,"
She showed us photographs of several
of the soldiers, and smile came over her
face when she spoke of Hallelujah Jim
and Salvation Tommy, and one man in a
picture had kind of jersey on with the
legend Happy Charley in large capitals
across his stomach. But there was n
great deal of carnestness and force i'm that
buxom young captain, 20 years old, who
spoke of saving souls as practically rs it
she were talking Of preserving pears, and
was as matter of fact fin suggesting that
she should pray with us as il she were Of
fering to open oysters. The Salvation
Army is one of the most curious of
studies, and among the class it works
with believe it does great deal of prac-
tical good, even if its methods are some
what demonstrative and brusque.-San
Francisco Chronicle "Undertones."

An Ornamental Mantel Diyau.

Ingenious contrivances for hiding or render
ing unsightly objects ornamental are ever
welcome where home art and home comfort
arc considered.
The cut here presented represents practi-
cal arrangement, described in Demorest's
Magazine, for concealing an unsightly fire
place, when not in use, and at the same
time furnishing convenient and ornamental
seat. Take a box made of pine boards, of a
proper length to ut under the mantelshelf-
low enough so that after the top is cushioned
the mantel will still be sufficiently above the
head to prevent interference-and wide
enough to he comfortable. II pillows are to
be used at the back arrange the top with
hinges, SO that the box can be used as a re-
ceptacle, if desired. Cover the sides and
ends with chosen material--moreer, wool
Saline, colored Canton flannel, cretonne, or
any furniture covering-laying it smoothly
on the ends, or gathered full in the middle
and ornamented with bow or poinpon, as
in the illustration. If the box Is first slightly
padded or covered with some thick material
the outer covering will look better. Make n
cushion for the top, and stuff it with hair or
excelsior, or even hay il more convenient,
and cover it with the same goods as the Sides
Several thicknesses of old ingram carpeting,
tied together at intervals like a comfortable,
or thin mattress, will serve the purpose
Fasten this permanently to the box il it is to
I've used only for seat; but attach it with
hooks and rings if it is TO be employed as q
trunk, so that it can he removed when il Is
necessary to raise the cover.

Elocution i'm the ParIor.

What fashion this reading, or, to be
more correct, recitation, has become. Ten
years ago only the professional elocu-
zionist, the Shakespearean reader, ever
thought of doing anything of the kind,
while now everybody stands up in q parlor
and repeats his or her little verse in excel
lent style. 1 say Everybody" because
people never before suspected of having
this gift are constantly popping out and
surprising their friends with this faYorite
accomplishment. Judging by them,
imagine all the others are meditating on
the possibility of their being asked next
time. If one hasn't voice to sing with,
nor any other talent to be glorified, it
seems providential that reading has come
in vogue, as it gives the much desired
opportunity to shine before men and
women of society. When o pretty girl
stands up and recites something having
all the ear marks of her teacher in elocu-
ton about it, the crudeness of the effort Is
overlooked in the pleasure her youth and
loneliness afford the spectator. One will
forgive anything in beautiful young
woman, even parlor parroting. Boston
Herald.
s I want to tell you how the mammas
away up I'm Lapland keep their babies
from disturbing the minister Sunday.
Poor babiesI suppose it is growing bad
style everywhere to take them out to
church. And suppose, too, that the
ministers are privately IS thankful rs can
be. But the Lapp mammas don't stay at
home with theirs. The Lapps are very
religious people. They go immense dis
tances to hear their pastors. Every mis-
sionary is sure of large audience and an
attentive one. He can hear o pin drop

Miss Par,oa q, I:rcad Making

Always buy flour six months old, says Miss
Parlea. Remember that the best -four is al
ways the cheapest. Mold bread with a light
hand, not as if with pugilistic intentions,
which spoils the grain of the dough and
makes sodden bread. Don't stop kneading till
the bread is fiaished, for bread that has
"rested is not good. Let rolls rise longer
than bread, for they bake sooner, being small
Ter, and do not rise as much in the oven
Dinner rolls are made in little balls, and
dolls rolling pin, two AMI half inches
through, is pressed almost through the center.
That is how the seam in rolls comes there.
How to make yeast is lost ert in these
days. A "first class" from an intelligence
Office informed her mistress that "yeast was
buyed, it never was made" The crisp, deli
cate coffee rolls, sticks, as bakers call them,
are made thus: One-fourth cup of butter dis
solved in q cup of boiled milk, one-fourth of
cake of compressed yeast dissolved in cup
of cold water and the white of an egg beaten
to froth, one tablespoonful of sugar, one
scant teaspoonful of salt, mixed with four cups
of flour. Let rise over night and then make
into balls the size of a large English walnut,
rolling each out q foot long Let them rise
half an hour and bake twenty-five minutes in
q moderate oven, which leaves them crisp
and dry, which they cannot be if baked
rapidly.

Curious Case of Treasure Trove.

A curious case of treasure trove is re-
ported from Bukowina, an Austrian duchy
on the confines of Roumania, Moldavia
and Russia. 1t appears that some thirty
years since a rich American named Tala-
kar was murdered by band of robbers.
With him the American had 30, 600 ducats
concealed in little wooden casks, which
were hidden in his carriage. Tho rascals
made off with the booty, and as no time
conld be spent in dividing their spoil they
agreed to deposit it for the time being in
q large kettle, which they buried in an
adjacent forest. Before their purpose was
effected the fellows were caught, and az
martial law was In force at the time they
were speedily disposed Of. One of them,
before being hanged, confessed the muir
der and gave explanations relative to the
hidden treasure. On hearing of the affair
the villagers set to work with spade and
hoe, but all their digging only brought
earth worms to the surface.
Since then three decades have passed
away and the story has become legend,
known least of all to the dark sons of the
Italian plains who came to Gurahumora
to assist In the construction of the roads.
They found q stone which irnreded their
progress. ppd before using dynsmtts tied

MANTTI, DJVAN

The outer drapery can no made as fanciful
as one may desire, or as simple as necessity
may demand. The illustration represents q
handsome ono crocheted in afghan stitch, and
the pillows arc covered TO match. This can
be suspended by small rings run on rod at
the top, that can be fitted into small brackets
such as are used for shade rollers. Where
the drapcry meets the seat sew OH the wrong
side row OF small rings that can be pissed
over hooks or small nails in the back Of tho
box, driven at such an angle that the rings
will not slip Off easily; or ribbon or tape
could be passed over the outside and tackled

trive something for tho purpose that will just
meet her necessities.
The most inexpensive material for this
drapeTy is cretonne, and it can he divided
into panels, as in tho illustration, by bands OF
plain colored silesia or Saline.

SER; the congregation wouldn't make so
much noise as that under any considera-
fion. All the babies are outside, buried
in the snow. AS soon as the family ar
rives OF the little wooden church, and the
reindeer is secured, the papa Lapp shovels
n snug little bed in the snow, and mamma
Lapp wraps baby snugly in skins and de-
posits it therein. Then papa piles the
snow around it, while the parents go
decorously into church. Over twenty or
thirty babies lie out there in the snow
around the church, and never heard of
one that suffocated or frozc. Smoke dried

Lowell,s Address at Chicaco.

Not that he spoke i'll. On the contrary,
it was genuine delight to listen to him.
He did not "dooty" us; he did not mis-
take the chimney SCOT for the suitable in
other things; he WINS not "lit'ry," and
what he gave us was not 'litratoor." He
did not drop the final gs nor add an to
his idea of thinking-a self restraint I'm q
Bostonian for which VIC arc very grateful.
1t Is very sweet 10 our ears, moreover, TO
find that he had not acquired cockDeyisnls
nor other barbarities of English manners
during the period when he imbibed more
or less of English odiousness in politics.
But it was painfully apparent that either
he spoke with singular indifference for a
man to whom accuracy of enunciation
should be ali invulncrable habit, or with
self contradictorincss indicating defiance
Of OrthOepic principles For instance, he
habitually said "natchah" for nature, and
so on through the words ending in ure
He said "tempist" for tempest, and so on
through tho words ending in est. He
generally said "munt' for the final
''ment, and list" for the terminal lest"
He was as little inclined to recognize an
between two vowels, or following n vowel
and preceding another consonant, as is
Mr.. Cleveland to recognize true blue
Democrat when he finds an excuse in the
civil service rules for not doing so.
In lieu of simple tears in one syllable he
gave us afternoon ''teahs" in two syllableS;
and Shakespeare himself came out anon
with final "aI." lie did not lutte us
with his lutte, but he did ''loon' us with
his lunacy; and although he sounded lis
Il correctly in illusion, why should he
have played loo with us when he became
ludicrous? Shall he disavow for himself
the trade he regretted Wordsworth had
too much despised, "the trade in classic
niceties?' and are not these two words, so
widely different in usual significance, from
the same root3 Why, again, should he
talk to us about patriotism, giving the q
Of the Latin root probably the true ancient
sound, and then speak Of ''Sccratcase,"
anglicizing his Greek? It may seem petty
thus to scan Mr.. Lowell's spoken English
''micrOlOgically." But it must be rcmem-
bered that il is one Of the methods by
which we must arrive at a correct pro-
nunciation of our language, il such a thing

How Iacaroni IN Made.

Macaroni is dish of which most children
are very fond, but how many, wonder,
really know what it IL and how it is made.
CHANGING to ovcrhear a conversation between
q small boy and his sister on the subject of
the origin Of their favorite dish, discovered
they thought it was some sort of product
which grows out Of tho ground. Now, in
point of fact, macaroni Is simply mixture
OF -four and water, with q little extract to
give it flavor and a little saffron to impart q
palc yellow hue. Tho paste is mixed in q
hugo wooden bowl, in which revolvcs heavy
wheel that stirs up the mass. When the PASTE
has been sufficiently stirred it is turned into
great metal bowl or vessel, above which Is q
stamp working by steam power. As this
stamp comes down on the paste it is pressed
through the bottom of the bowl, which is a
copper die punctured with holes the size and
shape of tho macaroni These strands arc
often several yards long, and are stretched
out on tables or shelves TO dry after they
have been cut up into suitable lengths TO
place in the boxes for sale.

The Correspondent in War Times.

1t is but justice to the correspondents
to admit that without their aid the battles
of the late war would never have been
fully known by the public. One can dis
cover in the perusal of the meager out
lines which remain to us i'm the shape of
histories Of the Mexican war the absence
of the intelligent correspondent. Little is
known of that contest save the material
furnished in the official reports. There is
the skeleton-the warm flesh, the pulsat-
ing blood, the expression of life arc absent.
No modern war has been so thoroughly
presented to the world rs the conflict be-
tween the north and south, and for this
the public is indebted to the representa-
tivcs of the press. They deserve place
in history. Their reward has been scant.
Soldiers who incurred no greater dangers,
who endured a less mental strain and ex-
hibited less judgment, have been pro-
noted to paying places, and in case of
their decease or disability, the state cares
for them or their families. The future
offered no such promises to the cores
pondent; what he did was mainly from
the love of his professiOn.--"Poliuto' in
